So this might sound crazy but I'm finding Mike D not voting for me kind of suspicious. He would of had a good reason to vote for me and pick run-off contestant #1. Instead he completes the circle by voting for kiko.

I know it's the weekend, but Bacon if you find MikeD's vote fishy I wouldn't be opposed to switching my vote to get to a MikeD and Superbek runoff. Not a whole lot to go on but day 1 you have to start some where.The last two people to vote come within a half hour of each other, and one of them someone finds suspicious.And please spare me the "mafia wouldn't do something so obvious' rebuttal.Like I said not a lot, but it's something. Anyone else have thoughts?

Jimmy, I haven't played with Superbek either, I'm just going by what I see. Just trying to be a more active townie, if it gets me voted off or whacked(which it probably will) so be it as long as it helps secure a win.

I'm good with getting things started too. I'd like to see what a fire under your butt will do too. My vote, as of now, is staying with Hakuna.

I am particularly suspicious of Mr. Forward because of his strange attempt to provoke me into an argument.

I don't think it was out of line to comment on the insensitive timing of your "shots fired" remark, considering you made it about twelve hours after the deadliest school shooting in American history.. Just sayin'.

As for the one about zombies flocking to gunshots like a dinner bell... it's no secret that I'm a recent convert to Walking Dead fanhood here. Check my participation in its Other Tent thread predating this game if you won't take my word.Didn't realize something like that was out of line in MAFIA 56: ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE.

Maybe he thinks having him in a runoff will make him talk more? Though this was used as justification last round to put (I can't remember, it was either SFA or Phi) into a runoff and it was by mafia. I'm all for voting on someone to get them to talk, but to actually throw in one of the better town players, not so much. I'm sure it isn't always a mafia move or maybe that wasn't his reasoning, I'm just guesstimating here.

I think we are in line for another game where the mafia just sits back and let's everyone go after each other. At this point, I would trust the other active vote switchers(jimmy and bacon) the most as there would me no reason for the mafia to make any waves the way this quiet day 1 is taking shape. I'm fine being dragged into the runoff if I have to, I think I'd be a good target for the mafia at this point and we may catch someone coming after me.

Couldnt agree more Jimmy, which is why I threw in Bek, I already explaiined why, I think at this point in time, that is our best case scenerio. I am a little worried about how vocal, you and I are being on the topic though and no one else really stepping in, sans Abra.We are either A)Completely off base and the mafia is sitting back, being quiet, and allowing this to happen, In which case I would guess the whack would be particularly telling.B) On track and the mafia is trying to communicate with each other to formulate a plan and some one is being slow to get back. In this case I see them trying to get a runoff more in their favor.

While I am worried Jimmy and I will become targets for seeminly being on the same page and vocal, I think we are on the right track. Even if we don't get a mafia member Day 1, I still think this is a bennificial runoff and will be telling moving into Day 2.

Hakuna, we are not on the same page. I still see no reason to have Bek in the runoff. I think having her would be just as random as tossing in someone like Kiko.

And Bacon, I understand you may want to pressure me by putting me in the runoff since I've been so vocal. Fine. But I still think Mike D should be in the runoff.

If someone can put a vote on Mike D (since Bacon just saved him from the runoff after an initial distancing tactic?) then I have no problem being in the initial runoff.

I meant having MikeD, KDogg, and a 3rd. I just took the liberties of picking a 3rd myself. I'd like to see someone else switch their vote to MikeD but if not I would be willing to switch mine. I'm going to work in a bit, but will be back before the deadline.

Bacon, a little curious on why you change your vote from EAP to Kdogg, then back off of him giving a reason that you don't want it to look like you are stacking, but then in turn vote for me for not stacking??

I'm fairly positive it was just an honest mistake on NBF's part, but this is one reason I don't like player tallys.

Ordinarily, I actually don't like them either, but I was thinking about changing my vote at the time, and I didn't want to do so without an updated tally.

I didn't end up changing my vote at the time because if I was going to, I was thinking I would change it to Mike D because I tend to agree that there is usually a mafia member among the last couple of people to cast an initial vote, so I thought it would be good to have the last two people who voted in the running for a runoff. Since he was already in there, I left my vote alone.

I voted EAP because that's what I've done lately at the beginning games but I dislike voting partners so I went to vote Kdogg. You will notice Kdogg voted for Bek at 8:57 and I for him at 8:59. I didn't see his vote when I voted.
